Tottenham Vs Arsenal: Match Thread

[cliff jones]

I got 11/1 for a Spurs/Everton double...couldn't believe how good those odds were...stuck 20 quid on it.

good luck mate, Everton break away in injury time after a Liverpool corner, Lukaku slides it through to sub and debutant Lennon who...

It's funny...all the usual suspects who are on slag-off mode irt poch, are conspicuously absent....

Always cheery my man. But today is a joyous one.

Good man....No more pessimism. We're back!

Amazing performance all round, even better than the Chelsea win. Even more impressive is it comes in an important game, not only a NLD but in terms of the League standing as well. We played it like a true derby with great passion and intensity. The only negative you could say is that we should have won by more which shows just how good we were.

What more can be said of Harry Kane? He's the complete striker and there can be no doubt he is the real deal. 2 against Chelsea and now 2 against Arsenal. Who else has done that for us? The tide is changing, Arsenal were happy to defend and try and nick one on the break and we were the team on the front foot taking it to them. Kane will lead this team into the future I'm sure. No doubt the loss of Sanchez had an affect on Arsenal but we're a young and hungry team. Mason and Bentaleb are excellent Pochettino type of players, Eriksen is a magician and the pairing of Dier alongside Vertonghen is starting to look strong.

I made a personal prediction that we will finish above and go unbeaten against the scum for the next 20+ years

Apologies if this has already been mentioned, if I'm tempting fate or if I'm wrong but the last time we beat Chelsea and goons at home in the same season was when we got into the champs league?

Yes, it has been mentioned

Weirdly enough that was actually even more one-sided than the 5-1.

If they'd come out and played a bit more we would have absolutely trashed them.

Can't get this grin off my face; not just because of the result, but also the performance!

We beat them back to back too! 2 of my favourite ever games. The difference then was that we hung on for large parts of both matches, this season we simply demolished them both! Hudd played with Luka in a 4-4-2 in both games and was really good.

Hope that's nothing too serious for Mason to have his foot in what I presume is an ice bucket.

Nothing wrong, he's just keeping his foot in there to stop David Bentley nicking it again.

"Fuck me Pete I think he's gonna get the zip all the way up this time

The man without the nose ring could easily take off his top without feeling the cold. The man on the left clearly likes to have his ring pulled. I cannot wait for the Gooner meltdown, because make no mistake we absolutely roasted those schmucks. The reaction between Bentaleb and Pochettino after the second goal was a sight to behold: Nabil Bentaleb, hard as nails!

They didn't look dangerous today, We dominated them in the challenge, the 50/50's, applied pressure throughout most of the game, Really felt like we had a Pochettino style today.

Massive credit to the manager really has got us playing well. And goes to show the Chelsea game wasn't a fluke.

 

[thinktank]

Wow. I feel in shock.

If anyone wants evidence of Pochs philosophy that was it. Hard press, high intensity, constantly swarming the opposition.

Absolutely love it.

There for those who wish to see it.

Poor old scum, we hit them so hard and fast they thought they were surrounded

I fear you may be confusing me with Gaz_Gammon

My only ire is with dear Ade and its no coincidence him not being around contributed to such fine spirit. When he's not playing we win.

I'm often nervous but I'm usually optimistic.

 

[Gambler]

We've beaten our big rivals a few times over the last few seasons. But we've never totally dominated them.

In the last few weeks we have absolutely steamrolled Chelsea and then Arsenal. No smash and grab, just fucking trashed them

That Arsenal scored and only lost by 1 flattered them.

Beautiful..

ps. Is it me or do we seem to turn it on for BT sport?

Although I would have been gutted if we had lost 1-0 I was really pleased with the performance.

Thank you THFC for putting a smile back on my face after last night !

Looks like we're on BT sport every week this month.

Was I the only one shitting bricks when Rosicky came on?

No. The bastard always put a shift in every time he played against us.

Does anyone have the stats for distance covered today?

Sooo right buddy! sooo right.

I think anyone who cares to see can tell that Poch system is beginning to take shape and has been for quite a while. It doesn't always come off but I really did feel today that his 'complete' system was more at show than any other time.

nope! when that late clearance fell so perfectly for him on the volley... I nearly shat.
